Hour Exam 2
Fall, 2006

There are 120 points on this exam. All multiple choice questions are worth 5 each. For all
other questions, the points are in parentheses at the end of the question. Show work
where appropriate. No work = no credit. Problems must be done by dimensional analysis
where specified. Note that persistent significant figure errors will result in a point
penalty.

1. Complete and balance molecular equations for each of the following reactions.
(5 each)
a. Barium metal reacts with phosphoric acid. One product is a solid.

b. Sodium carbonate reacts with hydrobromic acid. One product is a gas.

c. Magnesium metal combines with the nitrogen in the air to produce a single
compound.

2. Write names for each of the following. (5)

Na3P __________________________________

FeF2 ___________________________________

Cu2SO4 _________________________________

HNO2(aq) _________________________________

B5H9 ____________________________________

a. Balance the equation. (1)

b. 5.00 g P4 are reacted with excess chlorine. Calculate the theoretical yield

with 125.0 mL water. The density of water at this temperature
is 1.00 g/mL. Use dimensional analysis. (8)

b. How many grams of the reagent in excess remain when the reaction is
complete? Use dimensional analysis for most of this problem. (5)
10. A sample of gas occupies 455.0 mL at 50.0°C and 1.25 atm. Show work.
